The Rocky Mountaineer is more than a train journey — it’s a front-row seat to some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. Designed for daylight travel, every detail is curated to ensure the journey itself is just as memorable as the destination.

Scenery

Canada is home to some of the most remarkable landscapes in the world, and a journey onboard the Rocky Mountaineer offers a front-row seat to them all. As the train winds through the Canadian Rockies, you’ll pass majestic mountain ranges, crystal-clear lakes, deep canyons and vast forested valleys. From the comfort of your luxury train carriage, every view unfolds effortlessly, allowing you to fully appreciate the scale and beauty of the scenery. With a little luck, you may also spot some of Canada’s iconic wildlife along the way, including bears, elk, deer, moose and bald eagles. While sightings are never guaranteed, the possibility adds an extra layer of excitement to an already unforgettable journey.
